Title from frontispiece, imprint from introductory text

The first of 3 suites of plates depicting the loggie, published 1772-1777, engraved in this suite by "Joann. Ottaviani" with frontispiece by "Joannes Volpato." In addition to the engraver's name all bear the line: Cai. Savorelli pict.; et Pet. Camporesi Arch. delin. (frontispiece has Camporesi alone)

The illustrations include a 3-plate elevation and plan of the loggia (bound in as 2 leaves, 1 of them folded), and 2 doorways and 14 bays of arabesques. Each doorway and bay is depicted in 2 plates bound in separately, the second with repeated letter (the doors) or Roman numeral (the bays)

The elevation of the loggia bears the legend: Spaccato per il longo del secondo piano della loggia nel Cortile del Palazzo Vaticano corrispondente nel Cortile grande detto di S. Damaso, ove si dimostra l'architettura ed ornati della medema dipinti da Giovanni da Udine con la direzzione di Rafaele Sanzio da Urbino
